    Abstract: This paper considers the problem of estimating the population mean in Simple Random Sampling. One key objective of any statistical estimation process is to find estimates of parameter of interest with more efficiency. It is well established that incorporating additional information in the estimation procedure gives enhanced estimators. Ratio estima... Show More

    Abstract: Wind distributions are essential in making predictions on chances of getting particular wind speeds and even the ability of particular areas producing specified wind power. However, the accuracy of the parameters in predicting the wind speeds and potential wind power depends on the robustness of the distribution parameters in the fitted wind distri... Show More

    Abstract: Calibration is a well-known technique for weight adjustment using various sets of constraints. This paper considers exponential ratio-type calibrated estimators for finite population mean using first three moments about the origin of the auxiliary variable in the calibration constraint under stratified random sampling. The exponential mean-type est... Show More
